Sept. 19, 1990

A pounding, emotional version delivered with the inspiration that runs throughout the MSG ’90 run

Brokedown Palace
May 9, 1981
Nassau Coliseum

One of a few comical, double-start versions, this one comes around to cap off a great evening, sending us aglow into the parking lot

Aiko Aiko
April 3, 1986
Hartford Civic Center

Punchy and well explored to open the gig; beefy and well mixed soundboard to boot
2
Hell in a Bucket
June 5, 1993
Giants Stadium

Charging, gnarly version to open the proceedings before the dish-off off to a soaring Sugaree

Foolish Heart
Sept. 19, 1988
Madison Square Garden

Enjoy the free wanderings of these earlier versions before the “hook” closed the jam segment.

Playin' In The Band
June 19, 1976
Capitol Theatre

Another piece that’s been absorbed deep into the grey matter (surely rainbow-tinged by now) over the years and then brought to new life with a video. Thanks, everyone.
The Other One
Oct. 12, 1968
Avalon Ballroom

AKA the good shit.
Black Throated Wind
April 24, 1972
Rheinhalle

Jer's run-up the scale near the end is just exactly perfect.
